Pearl is a warm ivory from Shannon Fabrics’ Cuddle Extra Wide line, a solid minky with a plush 3mm pile. It’s 100% polyester and a generous 90" wide, so one length can back many lap and throw quilts with little or no piecing.
This soft, creamy shade gives a quilt back an elegant, heirloom feel and pairs beautifully with traditional, vintage, and neutral quilt tops. It’s a lovely choice for wedding and anniversary quilts, christening blankets, and cozy throws, and it’s gentle enough to work with almost any color on the front.
Cuddle is also great for baby blankets, baby accessories, apparel, pillows, pet beds, and stuffed animals. If you’re new to minky, a walking foot, plenty of pins or clips, and a slightly longer stitch length help keep the layers from shifting. Compare Pearl with White and Snow if you’re choosing between light neutrals.
